Abstract

The monoterpenes borneol, isoborneol, camphor and isobornyl acetate are suitable, also in the form of pure substances, as air improvers, also in the undertaking trade.

Description

Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf die Verwendung von Monoterpenen als Luftverbesserer und Insektenrepellent im Bestattungswesen und im Sanitärbereich.The invention relates to the use of monoterpenes as air fresheners and insect repellants in funeral services and in the sanitary sector.

Luftverbesserer (Desodorierungsmittel) sollen unangenehme Gerüche binden oder überdecken. Vorteilhaft sollen sie gleichzeitig als Insektenrepellent, besonders gegen Fliegen und Mücken, wirken.Air fresheners (deodorants) should bind or mask unpleasant smells. They are also said to be advantageous as an insect repellent, especially against flies and mosquitoes.

Sowohl im Sanitärbereich als auch im Bestattungswesen treten üblicherweise Gerüche auf, die für dort Beschäftigte, besonders in der warmen Jahreszeit, außerordentlich unangenehm sein können. Die gleichzeitig auftretenden Insekten bilden eine Plage und bringen Gesundheitsrisiken mit sich.Both in the sanitary area and in the funeral service, smells usually occur, which can be extremely unpleasant for those working there, especially in the warm season. The simultaneously occurring insects are a nuisance and pose health risks.

Als Gegenmittel werden Desodorierungsmittel eingesetzt, die bisher im Sanitärbereich weitgehend und im Bestattungswesen ausschließlich p-Dichlorbenzol enthielten.Deodorizing agents are used as antidotes, which up to now largely contained p-dichlorobenzene in the sanitary sector and only in funeral services.

Dies ist in toxikologischer und in ökologischer Hinsicht nicht mehr vertretbar. Selbst wenn p-Dichlorbenzol nur als mindergiftig eingestuft ist, muß man, wie bei allen chlorierten Aromaten, davon ausgehen, daß Folgeprodukte hiervon für den Menschen und für andere Lebewesen toxisch wirken und bei Verbrennungsvorgängen zu gefährlichen Abbauprodukten, vermutlich sogar zu den als sehr giftig einzustufenden Dioxinen führen können.This is no longer justifiable from a toxicological and ecological point of view. Even if p-dichlorobenzene is only classified as less toxic, it must be assumed, as with all chlorinated aromatics, that secondary products of this have a toxic effect on humans and other living beings and, in the course of combustion processes, dangerous decomposition products, probably even those that can be classified as very toxic Dioxins can lead.

Außerdem hält sich die geruchsverbessernde Wirkung in Grenzen, da p-Dichlorbenzol selbst sehr aufdringlich und unfein riecht.In addition, the odor-improving effect is limited, since p-dichlorobenzene smells very unpleasant and unpleasant.

Es ist ein Desodorierungsmittel bekannt, welches vorzugsweise als Luftreinigungsmittel und in Toiletteneinrichtungen verwendet wird und welches eine "Kampferverbindung" umfaßt (vgl. WO 85/00980). Die "Kampferverbindung" ist Borneol, Isoborneol, Camphen oder Kampfer und wird in einer Menge von 1 bis 50 Gew.-% eingesetzt. Daneben enthält das Desodorierungsmittel Detergentien, Polywachse und Füllstoffe.A deodorant is known which is preferably used as an air purifier and in toilet facilities and which comprises a "camphor compound" (cf. WO 85/00980). The "camphor compound" is borneol, isoborneol, camphene or camphor and is used in an amount of 1 to 50% by weight. The deodorant also contains detergents, poly waxes and fillers.

Weiterhin ist die Eignung von reinem Isoborneol als Kleidermotten abweisendes Mittel bekannt (vgl. EP 285983).The suitability of pure isoborneol as a moth repellent agent is also known (cf. EP 285983).

Es wurde nun gefunden, daß die gewünschte Wirkung als Luftverbesserer und Insektenrepellent gut von einem Monoterpenderivat allein erreicht wird. Verwendet werden Borneol, Isoborneol, Kampfer oder Isobornylacetat, vorzugsweise Isoborneol, wobei diese Monoterpene keine weiteren Zusatzstoffe benötigen.It has now been found that the desired effect as an air freshener and insect repellent is achieved well by a monoterpene derivative alone. Borneol, isoborneol, camphor or isobornyl acetate, preferably isoborneol, are used, these monoterpenes not requiring any further additives.

In toxikologischer und ökologischer Hinsicht sind diese Monoterpene unbedenklich, wie folgende Angaben zeigen:
LD₅₀ (Ratte, oral): Kampfer über 5000 mg/kg
Borneol 5800-7200 mg/kg
Isoborneol 4300-6200 mg/kg
Isobornylacetat über 10000 mg/kg
These monoterpenes are harmless from a toxicological and ecological point of view, as the following information shows:
LD₅₀ (rat, oral): camphor over 5000 mg / kg
Borneol 5800-7200 mg / kg
Isoborneol 4300-6200 mg / kg
Isobornyl acetate over 10000 mg / kg

Im Ames-Test zeigen Kampfer, Isoborneol und Isobornylacetat kein mutagenes Potential.In the Ames test, camphor, isoborneol and isobornyl acetate show no mutagenic potential.

In gesättigter Lösung weisen sie eine Abbaubarkeit von ca. 90 % in 5 Tagen auf.In saturated solution they show a degradability of approx. 90% in 5 days.

Beim Verbrennen unter ausreichender Sauerstoffzufuhr ist mit der Bildung von gefährlichen Susbtanzen nicht zu rechnen.When burning with sufficient oxygen supply, the formation of dangerous substances is not to be expected.

Die Anwendung von Borneol, Isoborneol, Kampfer und Isobornylacetat als Luftverbesserer im Bestattungswesen oder Sanitär-Deodorant ist allein oder in Abmischung in folgenden Konfektionierungsformen möglich:
als grob- oder feingemahlenes Pulver,
als grobkörniges Granulat,
als Gieß- oder Preßkörper,
als Flüssigkeit oder in Form einer Lösung (z.B. in Ethanol), wobei das rasch verdunstende Lösemittel nur zur gleichmäßigen und guten Oberflächenverteilung, nicht aber als Wirkstoff dient.
Borneol, isoborneol, camphor and isobornylacetate can be used as an air freshener in funeral services or sanitary deodorant alone or as a mixture in the following packaging forms:
as coarse or finely ground powder,
as coarse-grained granules,
as a casting or pressing body,
as a liquid or in the form of a solution (eg in ethanol), the rapidly evaporating solvent only serving for uniform and good surface distribution, but not as an active ingredient.

Während Gieß- oder Presskörper vorzugsweise die Umgebungsluft verbessern und Insekten anhaltend abweisen sollen, wird das streufähige Material zur intensiveren Wirkung auf eine größere Fläche verteilt. Besser ist jedoch die Wirkung beim Versprühen, Vergießen oder Pinselauftrag einer Lösung, z.B. von 55 % Isoborneol in 25 % Isobornylacetat und 20 % Ethanol, da nach dem Antrocknen (Verdampfen des Lösemittels) ein weicher filmartiger Belag mit stark geruchsbindender Wirkung zurückbleibt.While castings or compacts should improve the ambient air and keep repelling insects, the spreadable material is spread over a larger area for a more intensive effect. However, the effect is better when spraying, pouring or brush application of a solution, e.g. of 55% isoborneol in 25% isobornylacetate and 20% ethanol, since after drying (evaporation of the solvent) a soft film-like coating remains with a strong odor-binding effect.

Sollte eine geruchliche Variation erreicht werden, so ist der Zusatz von Riechstoffen möglich.If an olfactory variation is achieved, the addition of fragrances is possible.
